McLennan RCMP say a suspicious vehicle call from the public on June 18 led to the arrests of a pair of individuals.

Mounties who received the report attended a farmer’s field in the MD of Smoky River, where they found a vehicle they determined to be stolen, with two occupants inside.

Arrests were then made and a search of the vehicle ensued, leading RCMP to seize multiple illegal drugs and other items including:

1.2 kilograms of methamphetamine
58 grams of cocaine
120 grams of suspected fentanyl
Various weapons
Ammunition
Suspected stolen property

As a result, 36-year-old Muhktar Ali of Nampa and 27-year-old Hayes Fuller-Garand of Warburg had nine charges laid against them:
